What is the term for when people share a sense of unity and commitment to shared values and goals?

  1. Power

  2. Solidarity

  3. Social structure

  4. Ideology

The correct answer is: Solidarity

Solidarity is the correct term for individuals coming together with a shared sense of unity and commitment to shared values and goals. Power is the ability to influence others, which does not necessarily involve a sense of unity or shared values. Social structure refers to the patterns of social relationships and institutions within a society, which may or may not include shared values and goals. Ideology is a set of beliefs or principles that influence one's actions and decision-making, but does not necessarily involve a sense of unity or commitment with others. Therefore, out of the choices provided, solidarity is the only term that accurately describes this concept.
